Still an excellent hotel. Rooms a bit dated, but comfortable and all items work. Love the gym, but a bit disappointed by the pool. Appears hotel has allowed outside memberships to pool area, thus place is overrun with kids by mid-afternoon. These (spoiled?) local kids don't seem to care about the rules or listen to the lifeguard. Also a bit unhappy that dirty dishes/glasses are left poolside for hours while the local staff just walk by (numerous times!) ignoring. It was only cleaned up when I requested, as I got tired of the flies / smell.
